LATEST STAR CITIZEN PATCH ALPHA 3.23.1 OPEN PTU
BOREDGAMER GIVEAWAY RULES | / star_citizen_may_2024_...
MY SYSTEM SPEC | / boredgamer_system_specs
Star Citizen is an Open Development Alpha Project by Cloud Imperium. It is 2 Games really though, the Persistent Universe that aims to build a First Person MMO Space Sim that encompasses gameplay in ship & on ground, economy and pretty much anything else you can think of. It's built in the StarEngine (a modified Lumberyard Engine). You'll see massive Space Ships that you can fly with friends, land on planets, explore or whatever your way to whatever goal you choose. It's available to try in it's current Alpha State now, you can give feedback & influence the direction of the game BUT it is VERY ALPHA.
Squadron 42 is the Single Player Campaign of Star Citizen & the Spiritual Successor of Wing Commander. The Idea is the game is immersive, cinematic, beautiful & seamless... NO LOADING SCREENS once in game.
Both Games are currently in the Alpha of their development.
I am suspecting to see something more mainstream for Star Citizen's PU by the end of 2024 with permanent progression, though it will be a while after that before the game is considered "feature complete" which would be closer to 2025 in my opinion.
The are no dates for Squadron 42's Release Yet BUT it is now Feature Complete.
I am an Independent Content Creator & Star Citizen Fan. I am not paid by Cloud Imperium HOWEVER I am an Evocati Member and as such I am under an NDA for Closed Early Patch Tests of Star Citizen', known as the Evocati Test Flight (ETF). They occasionally offer me ships for giveaways too, which I will take if they are truely NO STRINGS ATTACHED.

[@sketchtherapy1218]

They made the ion even worse at big ship hunting (the thing its made for)

[@batonemo6096]

I had my first 'new' 30k tonight, the server paused, i got a 'please wait' message for about 20 sec, and it came back!

[@Eienlanzer]

This happened to me as well. I was scraping a hammerhead with my vulture and when the server came back my contract was instantly abandoned and I got a two crime stat because I was doing an illegal tow. FML

[@wolfgamingentertainment6714]

​@@Eienlanzer But hey, you didnt have to load back into the PU, wake up in your zone, then hangar, ship, take off, etc. Sure, it's not perfect but the previous way was a pain in the ass all the way.

[@Buckenheimer]

Sleeping on the couch in my own hangar is all I dream of

[@BoredGamerUK]

Soon!

[@rashonkelly3598]

Wait is that really going to be a thing?

[@seanhope937]

Art imitating life?

[@Hollowbarista]

Oh yes please.

[@oliverhurst7399]

[@phaaroyt]

My favorite 3.23 feature is everyone complaining about master modes

[@kylewheeler3566]

In all fairness the targeting is trash now lol

[@accidoot9942]

So true 😂

[@Platinumsniper]

The high cost of salvage materials made sense because what better way do you get a ton of metrics on a new gameplay loop in testing.

[@guest8975]

The helmet hotkey toggle is going to save me so much annoying inventory fiddling. Love it.

[@wonkeydonkey2407]

Agree, so looking forward to this option!

[@Gergich257]

Just be careful, there is no other way to get the helmet back on as it doesn't go into your inventory and I have had the hotkey get stuck and basically delete the helmet.

[@sinepilot]

I've seen the animation in a CIG video from a few years ago, it looks perfect going to and from your hip

[@Anachroschism]

The helmet hotkey has been in the game for a long time, it just wasn't assigned by default. It's just the new animation, instead of going directly to inventory.

[@jbirdmax]

Love hidden goodies. I love them so much that I hide them myself. I like sneaking onto people’s ships and leaving dogs, drinks, and various plushies around their ship.

[@BoredGamerUK]

lol

[@qtatrongaming]

I wish somday to find a good whiskey in by Little cutter.

[@brianstasney7553]

Chaotic good.

[@qtatrongaming]

@@brianstasney7553 yes!

[@sinepilot]

Back before you could lock your ship, I used to love hiding in people's bathrooms until they took off, then I'd just stand behind their captain's chair and look over their shoulder while they flew until they noticed me, then run towards & jump out the back as soon as I noticed their get-out-of-chair animation beginning. Muahahaha! Gotta make your own fun with this buggy mess

[@Ravenbotsumi]

I'm ready to see the RSI Polaris on the showroom floor!

[@BoredGamerUK]

SOON!

[@Archmage9885]

I hope CIG surprises us with a flight ready Polaris.

[@darqshark3506]

This patch is so close to feeling like a game. I am still running into mission breaking bugs. Like the final enemies of bunker missions being in walls or invisible. And certain key items not spawning. If these can get fixed I am going to push for my friends to try during Invictus. I really hope CIG can fix these missions.

[@dan1273]

Exactly the boat I'm in right now.

[@vextoro]

Something to remember: though Vulkan isn't optimized yet, if your system can handle it you should use it. The more people there are using it, the more CIG knows about what they need to optimize :)

[@joshuaf.3723]

"Ships interactions are better" SOME are, some seem very broken, such as the Vulture ladders and the MSRs light switches that I've encountered.

[@tolerableship02_83]

i also noticed i couldnt bed log in the vulture

[@Instamatic898]

If you right click over the "Get Up" prompt while you're lying in the Vulture's bed, you should see the option to log out. ​@tolerableship02_83

[@calebstephens3182]

C1 and Vanguard both had button options for external doors that are not there any more. I think a fee more dashboard buttons went mission

[@romanwiller2180]

With the 30k and server crash recovery, one big note, don’t spam a bunch of actions (ie: Call Elevator). Once everything spins up it starts processing the back log of actions with some lag between, so if you hit the elevator button 85 times, you’re going to be waiting a longer time. Just be patient and chill for a few minutes

[@rDunfee]

Ive found the mass drivers are great on paper, but they fire as soon as they are charged, so theyre VERY hard to hit with while in a dogfight. I would use them a lot more if they fired on button release after they fully charge

[@sinepilot]

One big bonus for me personally I wasn't expecting: you can now see other planets from across the solar system (assuming their illuminated side is facing you). This means you can see them approach you during your entire QT jump to that planet, there's never any pop-in of the planet graphic as you approach now because you see it coming the entire way. Also the hitching/chunking in fps just as you drop out of QT in front of the new planet is largely gone, I suspect due to the DLSS.

[@lukeyyuko7841]

Med beds make me want a c8 medical now

[@BoredGamerUK]

You'll be able to get one at Fleet Week OR just grab it in game!

[@Anjelus]

I want cargo missions, but they also need to fix the disappearing salvage bug soonest xD

[@jaykay5838]

Almost lost my starter Auec from salvage bugs. I start with 5k, if you mess up the intro salvage missions you may nbot be able to do any missions untill you srape up soem cash elsewhere.

[@Anjelus]

@@jaykay5838 That's why I usually start with a couple of box delivery missions just to make a bit of scratch to do other things

[@sickmit3481]

@@jaykay5838 i had to become a crimestat 5 criminal to get out of the no money hole after failing salvage. Ive been on the run for a week now mutliple bounty hunters are attacking me every day and my bounty is almost in the millions because of i couldnt start working a legal job xD

[@JD-of2ps]

@@jaykay5838 Panel salvage is free and is back to being very viable and lucrative with this patch. They now scan at distance, but disappear at about 3.5kish, but once you get the hang of it, it's quite easy to find panels and quickly fill your Vulture with RMC.

[@soucravn]

​@@jaykay5838 try the illegal scraping missions, 20k reward for scraping a cutlass or andromeda plus RMC, no fee upfront so there's no Auec risked

[@qtatrongaming]

Most impactfull features od 3.23 on my gameplay is small internal inventory in ships and boxes/lockers/external storage overall bugs, so we have less space for loot and even when we take some storage boxes from cargo center we can't use them at all.

[@danmoore8537]

I love how this patch is reuniting a lot of old star citizen friend's who are back playing because of this amazing patch . Thanks CiG also BoredGamer for helping to keep use all informed and getting us all amped for 3.23. keep up the great work brother.

[@fuzzybunny7565]

been waiting for 11 years so far and it just keeps getting better... slowly but still

[@syrusin613]

Still cant wait for that personal hangars with the ship elevators. Imagine standing there and a Reclaimer coming out of the ground in front of you. Must look epic 😍

[@arrisan8283]

Imagine for an idris, or a kraken, both of them can go on planet so they will have hangar too.

[@CanadianGamingRCD]

3.23 experience so far, go to buy ship, realize I’m broke, decide to fly the penguin, gets gunned down by 4 anti air at bunker, take penguin again now with hover bike and fly to bunker, complete mission and now heading back to ship, realize low grav=high speed on bike, fly through the air for 2.45s before crashing into penguin and causing a crater to form where it once stood. 10/10 gameplay

[@businesswoofer]

noob

[@joshuaf.3723]

Couldn't they at least make scope glint only apply when the sniper is actually IN direct light!?

[@RobertPaulson619]

I can't believe how quick things are coming out now! Looking forward to what's next!

[@mistawilson6990]

Something you didn't know about. Clothing like jackets count as a backpack so if you have spare magazines in you jacket you can reload from that. Pistols and multicolor can now attach to pants. So basically you can clear out a bunker with no armor if you want. Just make sure you can breathe.

[@lovlinator]

3.23 is really enjoyable! The helmet can now be attached to the hip (so it disappears from inventory), the keybind is a bit hit and miss, but it works sometimes (and this feature has been reported as a potential bug on IC, so it may be a bug ... but it may also be a feature...)

[@eliassen87]

For those of you in the verse who like me couldn't find the "log off" button in your ship bed, hold F key and hit right-click and it will magical appare! 😂

[@hippygaming2740]

Not everything is working as intended. Please don't expect a perfect experience in the Alpha. Other then that . . 3.23 has a ton of QOL fixes, but I am waiting for the personal hanger. Hope it makes it in between 3.23.2 to 3.23.5 🙂

[@virulentvision9489]

Sniper glint is a feature I'd rather do without. I can understand it's there to balance things out, but I feel it would be better done by tracers and sound reports from firing.

[@jch1386]

The fact that most things just "work" if you wait long enough (distro centers spawning in after a few minutes, contracts taking about 5 minutes to accept) is an oddly satisfying side benefit of the Replication layer as it potentially shifts servers on you.

[@aaronpaul5990]

Thanks for the summery ^^ it helps to have to heared about most of them ^^

[@edwin.v]

Actually a couple of small details I hadn't picked up yet. Thanks!

[@somrune3408]

I can't tell you how excited I am about persistent hangars, it's 1 of the main reasons i got the game

[@johncoffee1313]

Even without the personal hangars and cargo elevators, this patch is an insanely huge jump forward for SC! It’s really feeling like CIG is getting momentum now

[@madochgreyson]

Thanks for detailing interactions around quantum. Very helpful!

[@Lord_Azrizus]

Had a “30k” and recovery. Super nice that it’s working, even if it’s slow. Nice to not have to go through all the loading again.

[@MicrochipSlayer]

The whole point of a sniper is locating a advantageous location and use your surroundings to not be seen which includes foliage such as tiny shrubs and such. Its not about it being unfair. Thats just how anything involving a sniper is utilized in the real world. They dont turn on a LED light whenever they decide to scope in. If fairness is the issue then the sniper should be able to shoot full auto with no recoil. You normally only get 1 shot before your location is found by others unless you did A GREAT JOB USING YOUR SURROUNDINGS TO MASK YOUR SHOOTING LOCATION and not have that given away by an arbitrary flash light that turns on when you decide to use a sniper for its purpose.

[@aendery2k130]

Multicrew done well will push Star Citizen way ahead of the curve.

[@elcockroach7328]

Thanks for the update!

[@toroka]

I like the scope glare thing to help pinpoint a sniper, though if they are getting one-shot kills, it doesn't help THAT much ;)

[@philipp270799]

thanks for the summary!

[@Piplar]

Thanks for the update. Can't wait for persistent hangars!! There's so much exciting stuff coming now with these major patches, although some bug fixes would also be good.. not being able to loot bodies, and all the cargo issues are particularly troublesome in 3.23

[@Huggernator]

Construction Materials have been added to Commodity Alerts. If you're prepared to fly to specific locations, you can sell CM for 16k instead of 1.5k

[@Grum_Be]

I will worry about the price of a hot dog when the game comes out, prices for everything could change a hundred times before then.

[@plyssken1983]

The helmet toogle is one of the best quality of life things we got.

[@grendel_prime666]

Thanks for the update.

[@austindowns7951]

This update alone was like totally worth it. Even though we didn't get hangers, which I also was not surprised about. The Quality of life improvements alone are worth that sacrifice. The light at the end of the tunnel is finally visible. Granted still far off but it's there peaking over the horizon.

[@Fallub]

Still not sure if I like this update. There are many not really welcome changes (higher cost for ships, the master mods, etc.). But I am more than excited for the personal hangars. They can‘t come soon enough. Thanks for the coverage Bored.

[@jonlorber5911]

Having some great experiences in 3.23 so far. A few QOL issues but getting much better. Thanks for the update.

[@NullFront]

Thanks for the heads up on the less obvious changes

[@Ianthus382]

Was glad to see they fixed the water in my 890! Was sad to see they broke everything else about the interior of my 890…

[@danglading]

Lots of useful tidbits on the new controls & features. Thanks!

[@mattcoyle2223]

So many new things. Thanks for putting this together, its a huge help with the new key changes

[@jaywalker8651]

Thx for all the handy hotkeys, Bored! More ammo for ballistics and the new map app are really welcome changes for me!

[@galactichazzard8932]

The reduction in CM price by 75% (from 6K to 1.5K) and the rise in price for the RMC to 14K+ for salvaging is most likely to give people the incentive to scrape the hulls but sadly when you get back to the station and have to plant yourself behind a comodity monitor for hours in order to sell your cargo as there is no demand and having to wait for resets, well it sucks big time. I know because I wasted over an hour just to sell the RMC from my Reclaimer last night. Might be easier to sell from a Vulture as you don't come back with 400+ SCU to sell. Think I'll stick more on the CM for the time being or at least until CIG decided to increase demand or shorten the reset times. Thanks for the video 😉

[@lunasakara7306]

As soon as persistent hangars drop, I'm going to go find all the fun little items across the verse to decorate it with. My very own Pico cave, if you will.

[@TheThorJunki]

Having the persistent hangers will be so good! It will definitely make me stay planetside more often in between missions.

[@jonny_vdv]

I really hope weapon grouping is one of the things that will persist along with the MFDs when a ship is reclaimed. I'm getting really tired of swapping the ballistics and energy weapons on my F7 every time I get in, and now the weapon groups revert to default when entering and exiting nav mode as well.

[@vishus85]

Same it was driving me right up the wall.

[@rorycarter4765]

Just change it in the settings for weapon group 1 and 2

[@jonny_vdv]

@@rorycarter4765 the problem is that then my weapon groupings on every other ship will be wrong

[@AngryGiantRobot]

3.23 is fantastic. It's feeling more and more like a "real" game now. Much less janky and more polish. Can't wait for more!

[@peter_ptp]

Such a great patch, thanks for the tips and tricks. Tobii eye tracker is ordered.. Can't wait to try it.

[@hortwort]

Love this summary! Thanks for the tips.

[@NTNFILMS]

Thanks for the update about the hidden features.

[@DanGronlund]

Always glad for the updates, looking forward to se whats new with this years fleet week.

[@ThePrestondixon]

Awesome update! Are there any KZbin videos on Luna Wolves events? I'm curious to see what they are like.

[@ihavenoideaman5994]

The quality of life updates have been such a great breath of fresh air, it's starting to feel like a true game now

[@Unit148-7]

What game are you playing? Have you tried looting a box? Tried to quickly swap armor or weapons? Or had NPCs spawn from nowhere? I've fallen through 2 elevators, etc... And then theres all the MM business. CIG is not fixing the things they should be fixing. They're simply adding lipstick to a pig.

[@dustenasplin2200]

Seeing how far SC has come brings the little kid in me that was watching it so happy

[@MikeStojanovic]

Looking forward to trying it out. Kind of need to learn more about the key binding. More Info would be appreciated.

[@RedKing1337]

Sounds great good to know I will definitely check these features out and look through the bindings

[@kevinrosa5804]

Thank you far all these infos :)

[@bjordan429]

Wow, that's a huge selection of good ships. Good video, havent done FPS in 3.23 yet, and I forgot some of the new stuff in it.

[@erasmuus]

Always enjoy your content! Keep up the good work.

[@hasanmcbride7763]

Thanks for the update...

[@callum.dokkodo]

Personally I like the changes to flight. I think the tradeoff of shields vs speed is good. It needs some tweaking but the bones are there. When they fix the Mole I'll be a happy camper. I'll be very surprised if we see 4.0 within 12 months of this patch. I'm more than willing to be wrong, but I wish they would be more realistic with their proposed deadlines. 3.23 is amazing so far. the 3.23.x patches can take us through the next year of development.

[@sniperlocke56]

I have had so much fun exploring and doing missions in the distribution centers, the level of detail is amazing! Thanks for the great daily uploads bored.

[@djg3n3s1s]

Honestly? While there’s some randomness with what works and doesn’t, this patch is fantastic. I am quite happy about the economy change in reference to RMC & CM and it kind of nudging people back to the actual gameplay loop of scraping the hull and then crunching it. And now nobody can call me a n00b because I’m following the intended gameplay loop. I call that a win in my book!

[@PensacolaOboist]

Some great info once again! Thanks for sharing it!

[@okumakamizu3030]

As usual, lots of info. And always to the point. Thank you.

[@Aledar_]

Having the most fun in 3.23 than I have in the game in a long time

[@ragnaroke]

3.23 brought a ton of quality of life improvements, and I’m excited for the cargo rework soon!

[@vegacool1]

Approaching large facilities with starter ships for illegal missions is near impossible. And with no room for a vehicle, its a 13k walk to the facility. Solo illegal gameplay is out for starter ships.

[@operator001]

Like many, I cant wait until the Polaris is done and in my hanger. Im also drooling over the Perseus. May pick that up this Invictus. Those personal hangers need to hurry up!

[@xugans99]

Some of the star map info is great to know. I will also have to figure out how to zero the scopes

[@dieselpub2]

The reclaimer main elevator call button now works! Wooohooo !

[@timwillis4063]

Really appreciate the vids. Just recently got to start playing and has helped alot.

[@thespacemonkey1000]

A helmet hot key is a godsend. Finally I can eat quickly instead of inventory tetris

[@GaradanR]

Thanks for the updates! Only thing I am really excited about if anything, is when the major bugs (like with the Thrustmaster flight sticks) has a fix...hopefully.

[@ArterialCanine]

Salvage was not balanced between scraping & fracture (time invested) so many were not interested in scraping and simply fractured and sucking up which is easier and less time.

[@ThoughtfulWander]

great recap! Thank you! 👍👍

[@zombiewolf123]

Thanks for the update

[@Storm-Cleaver]

The Helmet Hotkey is cool... I'm just concerned that I'll forget and walk outside an airlock. Memories of Port Olisar.

[@RoKing18]

I am most excited for the cargo lift to be added. Specifically to call up ships and vehicles, I think that will be awesome!

[@Mike5Brown]

They really need to add some effects to NAV mode to make it more obvious that this is a quantum travel propulsion.

[@NexFioVos]

Just having nav mode without dropping into quantum spool mode will be a godsend

[@robotlazer2000]

Low key my favorite thing from the 3.23 is the audio feedback for FPS play.

[@user-tc6yd6pt3m]

I am certain that I’ll love the MM once I get used to/learn it. The only thing I don’t like is how vulnerable I feel now in combat with the reduced speeds. But I think there is a great amount of potential with the modes

[@bbraonain]

Thank you for the news.

[@cnolan1290]

Really looking forward to your coverage of Invictus Bored, Sadly I'm going to miss some of it due to travelling.

[@eligysfpv9907]

They add coordinates in star map would be cool to set them as way points so we could have secret places or meet ups

[@FuzeeSC]

Love the 'not being one-shot' feature

[@kyalurlich525]

This QoL patch looks pretty good. Once I can get Babbage to spawn a ship I will really get to enjoy it
